9:52 pm
Today it rained from about 3:00 am - 10:00 am in the
morning, and was kinda sprinkly the rest of the day, so that dropped our
temperature to about 85 degrees, and it was delightful. Incredibly humid, but a
cooler humid, as opposed to a very hot humid. So we were very grateful for the
rain.
Also, after some hospitaling, Hna Robles and I went out to
lunch, and I finally got to eat some Mexican food! That pretty much made my
day. There's a restaurant called Antojos Mexicanos, or Mexican Cravings, and
that's exactly what I've been having the past few days, so we finally got those
taken care of. One big difference in the food here is that it's not spicy,
although there's a lot of similar food ingredients. So I got myself some
lovely little carne de res tacos and covered those
puppies in the "bastante pica" type of salsa that was about
lowish-medium heat for me, at least, and enjoyed myself immensely. Hna Robles
and the lady who served us kept eyeing me to see if I would cry or something
because they thought the salsa was really hot, but I thought it was perfect.
Hna Robles can't stand spicy food, and the lady kept warning me that that salsa
was really hot, probably thought I was crazy. But it was a really nice red
salsa, had a nice flavor and texture, and lots of red chilis. And it was so
nice to have some beef, too. And the pico was really good, too, fresh tomatoes
and cilantro and onion. And had some horchata to drink. That was an awesome
lunch.
I would like to take a moment and discuss how it is always a funny thing for Hna Robles and I to be planning hospital visits for the missionaries, and she'll say that we have a cita (appointment) with an Elder Paca, so I write that down, and the next day we show up and I discover that she had been trying to say Packard... that happens a lot of times, and I finally showed her all my notes from the past few weeks, and she laughed for a good 2 minutes or so. There's also some other english things that come out funny: biscuits = beesqueets, KFC = kah-efeh-seh, Popeyes = poh-pay-ehs, take it easy = tay-kee-see... I'm sure I sound similar as I'm stumbling around in Spanish, but it sure makes for a good laugh.
